People! Friends of mine! Do you like stories about awesome women being awesome? Or stories about Winchesters hunting evil? Or maybe you just like spectacular stories outstandingly told?

Well, if that's the case, then you should run, not walk, RUN, over to baylorsr's journal and read Crossbones. It's an AU that posits what would happen if Mary had told John the truth about everything. It's an amazing story that takes that premise and just goes to town. Go, read it, it's better than you can even imagine.

When Mary told him that a demon, not a burglar, had killed her parents, he took her hands and told her that they were going to get her help. Mary was young, and with her parents and their influence gone, John was certain that treatment, therapy, medication – something – could save his Mary.

Mary’s eyes were clear and steady and blue and not at all what John thought crazy-eyes should look like. He’d seen crazy, in the eyes of the enemy, in the eyes of his brothers-in-arms, and it didn’t look like this, but maybe that was because Mary’s crazy went so far beyond the brand caused by the horrors of war.

“Come with me,” Mary said. “Come with me and let me show you, and if you don’t feel differently, then I’ll get whatever help you think I should have.”
